Two Suns of the Leaf

Chapter 1: The Beginning

(Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or its characters just my own OC's, please enjoy the story.)

In the Hidden Leaf Village there was a man named Minato Namikaze he was the 4th Hokage and leader of the Leaf Village. He was said and proven to be the villages greatest Hokage and also its smartest. He was brave and kind and led his Ninja by example and on the battle field with high and low ranking individuals. And treated them all with genuine respect, he was the wielder of many jutsu but his most famous were the "Rasengan" and the "Flying Thunder God Technique" both were powerful, and the latter was what earned him his nickname "The Yellow Flash" since the "Flying Thunder God Technique" which granted him lightning fast movement across wide spaces and terrain. But like the 1st and Second Hokage before him he was gone before his time. For you see he perished sealing the Nine-Tailed fox into his two sons. The oldest son he had by Sara Sarutobi, the older sister of Asuma Sarutobi she died in the attack of the Nine-Tails the boys' name was Steel Sarutobi Namikaze. His second son came from his deceased wife Uzumaki Kushina whom he met a year later, she died as a result of the Nine-Tails as well but it was from its extraction from her body and her sacrifice to save her baby Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze from the beast itself. Their Fathers name was removed from their public birth records in order to protect them and they were raised together by Asuma Sarutobi, Might Guy, Kakashi Hatake, and Shisui Uchiha inside the Sarutobi Clan Compound.

The Four Elite Jonin were given strict orders by Hiruzen Sarutobi the Third Hokage and Grandfather of Steel Sarutobi to be taught the moment they could walk in order to teach them to use and master the burden place upon them. Hiruzen took over the position and quickly put his foot down regarding the two young children and the village as a whole. They were to be treated as normal children and given the respect everyone was due. Their family history as far as their father went was kept until they were to graduate the academy and gain a respectable amount of skills and talents. And as for the village he disbanded the Civilian Counsel and replaced his 2 advisors, in their positions he installed Shikaku Nara and Ibiki Morino. With the issues in the Village resolved and his power reinstated he could focus on the more pressing issue, especially with his Biological Grandson and his Adoptive Grandson. And with four of his Elite Jonin preparing them at a young age so they would be ready for the trials ahead upon completing the academy.

(Time skip 11 years)

Quite a few years had passed since the sealing of the Nine-Tails and the brothers had been training for over 10 years nonstop and it made them develop a serious and calculating teenagers, it was hard training for Naruto and for Steel. Steel being older at 14 was a bit ahead of his little brother who was 13. And Steel was tall for his age standing at 5'6 and weighing 135 lbs. He was like his grandfather in most respects having his brown skin and the same hair style as well and he had Hiruzens eye marks, he looked like his father as far as his face went and had his mothers' golden eyes. His attire was similar to his Grandfathers battle uniform, but his was black and blue, not solid black and he wore spiked combat gloves and boots.

Naruto was on the other hand a copy of Minato except that he had his mother round face. He was a little bit smaller than Steel being about 5'3 and 115 lbs. he had sun kissed blonde hair and deep ocean blue eyes with a purple ring around them and his face had three distinct whisker like birth marks on each cheek. He wore a Blue Jumpsuit with a black flak jacket, and like his brother wore the same gloves and boots. They both had knowledge of the Nine-Tails being sealed within them, with Steel holding the Yin half and the Spirit of the Fox and Naruto holding the Mind and Yang half of the Fox. It made them each act very protective of one another and also very wary of those they did not know. Because even though the Nine-Tails was a secret outside the village but it still caused the two problems inside, and at times it made them the object of insults and violence. With the latter being dealt with severely and sometimes lethally, Hiruzen usually had permanent solutions for those who caused harm to his Grandsons.

Now Steel and Naruto were treated friendly by most of the Clan heads and the clans they ran all except the Uchiha, Shimura, and Hyuga, with the latter clans being uptight and snobbish. Steel and Naruto when not being trained were being nurtured by Hiruzen and his youngest daughter Mia Sarutobi also who was Steels' aunt, she had just gave birth to a newborn boy named Konohamaru. She was beautiful and was unlike her older brother and sister for she was not a ninja. She had long black hair and looked like her mother Biwako. She would always feed and clean them after their training up until she had her baby and the boys were glad of it since they joined the academy.

Which is where we find ourselves now, the two were signed in together and slated to graduate the same. They were top of the class with Sasuke being tied with Naruto, for second place. Now in all honesty the two could have graduated in 2 years but chose against it since they knew in 4 years they would either get Shisui, Asuma, or Kakashi as their sensei. It was all just a matter of patience and calculations. Now as for the Academy as a whole the curriculum had been reverted back to its original standard used during war time, which made the students quite a bit tougher and usually in three years a middle of the pack student was usually at a med-genin level. While anyone above who stayed the full four years were Medium level Chunin. Steel and Naruto on the other hand were conditioned to a level above that.

The two boys had a small circle of friends with Steel being friends with Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, and Rock Lee; the latter slated to graduate very soon being a year ahead. Naruto was friends with Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and TenTen Higarashi, with TenTen being like Rock Lee in that she too was graduating that year also and Naruto was even going steady with Hinata Hyuga. The rest of the Class of their age group was consisted of Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Sai Shimura (who was the grandson Danzo Shimura and highly trained for his age), and lastly Ino Yamanaka. The two boys were civil with Sasuke and Sai, but as for Ino and Sakura they were infatuated with Sasuke and his dark lone wolf persona. Something he adopted after two Uchiha traitors did away with almost his entire clan with the exception of Shisui, Shisui's infant son Taka Uchiha, and his brother Itachi Uchiha.

As for the rest they were killed by two Uchiha Clan brothers who got angry for being banished by Fugaku Uchiha and his Brother Shinji. They were named Ram and Colt Uchiha and they were second in strength behind Itachi and Shisui and together were equals. They had been trying to take over the village in secret with some unknown collaborators, but were denied when found out and banished to exile. They did not take too kindly too that however and found a secret document stating that Itachi and Shisui were to leave on a joint mission together, and that was when they struck. In that night they slaughtered every Uchiha which by some coincidence was all of them barring Shisui and Itachi. And it was by some divine intervention that Sasuke was with the doctors at the Hospital for a broken leg. And as far as Taka went he was kept safe by his mother who hid him from harm. Sasuke, Itachi, Shisui, and Taka are the only loyal Uchiha alive and they besides young Taka were working to end Ram and Colts existence.

Steel and Naruto were understanding to an extent of what it must have been like to lose everyone and they could definitely relate to wanting to be stronger in order to protect others and to defend their home called the Leaf Village. The brothers were sitting together at this time listening to Iruka Umino a scar faced Chunin instructor who was reading over advanced Jutsu theory and chakra manipulation. It was a bit difficult for some of the students but old news for the Brothers, they could do every chakra exercise in the book save for some of the Jonin level techniques. Iruka was just finishing up and dismiss the class for the day and this was when Steel and Naruto looked out of the Window to see two familiar faces giving them the traditional "We're Training signal". Nodding in response they waited patiently for dismissal and met their instructors, the others in the class minus Sasuke were too busy to notice the silent departure they made.

Outside of the school the two went to training ground 17. They saw two Jonin waiting in the clearing the first one being Shisui Uchiha and the other being Asuma Sarutobi, who was obviously Steels' uncle. Shisui was a tall man with a light muscular build, onyx eyes, and messy hair. He wore Anbu style shirt and pants, as well as sandals, and a gray flak jacket with the Uchiha Clan symbol on the back. And he carried a Tanto on his back as his main weapon. He was known as a master of the sharingan, the fire element, and his unheard of use of the Body-Flicker, earning the Title "Shisui of the Body-Flicker".

Asuma Sarutobi was a bit like his father Hiruzen but was taller and more muscular and he had a full beard and brown eyes. He used the Fire and Wind elements with much skill and talent, and was a master Muay Thai boxer and the Sarutobi Monkey style. He was also a master of Trench Knives. He wore the standard Jonin uniform only with a black jumpsuit underneath instead of blue. And the sash of the "Twelve Guardian Shinobi" around his waist, and in his mouth was an ever present cigarette.

Shisui looking over the two saw that they were bored out of their minds being in class all day, and that being said they needed some release. Shisui said to them in his ever cheerful voice

"Alright you two we are going to spar with you today and then do some elemental ninjutsu training. With you 2 having multiple high affinities you must work constantly to learn complete and seamless control. Steel you will be training against me while using my Sharingan and Naruto you will fight Asuma, you will be releasing your gravity seals while doing all of this and upon seeing how fast and how much stronger you have become we will increase them further."

"Yes Shisui Sensei!" the two said together

Steel then looked at Shisui and met in the middle of the training ground. Shisui had his eye blazing and Steel had his seals released, eyes looking at Shisui's feet, and he was preparing to use Jeet Kune Do to counter the intercepting style of the Uchiha Wolf style, with some intercepting abilities of his own. Steel moved in a low boxing like stance moving slowly forward as did Shisui. Who had his left leg and arm extended forward and his right arm in position to strike or extend in defense depending on his adversaries decision of attack. Steel got a bit closer and in a blur attacked the right or so Shisui thought. He quickly reversed field and went left with the same method of attack but instead of a jab it was a low kick the left knee. Shisui dodged it but not with his Sharingan it was just his natural talent, skill, and experience. And to the fact that Steel was avoiding eye contact, which negated some of the legendary Doujutsu and its special abilities. Steel was patient and waited for Shisui to come to him and he did with a right hook, which Steel through also, the attacks met viciously and painfully, Steel ignoring the jarring feeling in his hand sent a kick to Shisui to his right Oblique which actually stung Shisui a bit. Shisui though was holding quite a bit back but was still impressed with how his student was doing against him, he then attacked Steel with a jab that was blocked without looking and quickly switched to using Judo grabbing Shisui by his collar and performing a leg sweep. It worked quite well, surprisingly to Asuma who was happy for his nephew, and Steel to his credit managed to alternate back to Jeet Kune Do attempting launch bullet punches to Shisuis' chest. It missed horribly and Shisui sent him flying with wicked kick to the sternum, knocking the wind out of Steel. Steel recovered and jumped back into the action but was now being completely overwhelmed, before he lost however he left two nasty cuts to Shisui over his right eye and left cheek. Steel lost when he found himself in a standing choke hold, and felt a kunai sticking his side where his kidneys lay. Shisui looked at Steel and said smiling

"Good job, I see you have actually mastered those two styles with the former being continually tailored to you. Good job with the major outside reap, it surprised me, and I see Guy has taught you to combat the Sharingan even further. I did realize however you held your speed back, what was the reason?"

"I held back because you never know who is watching and I still want to master a few more things before I go all out against you. I will however tell you of the last 2 styles I have begun to master besides JKD, Judo, and Monkey Style."

"And that is?"

"Tai Chi Mantis and Wing Chun, they are very different but I believe I can make them supplement each other very well. And at the request of Grandpa Hiruzen he has ordered me to learn all the animal styles."

"Then you do so, and don't be afraid to use more Shadow Clones, you and Naruto both have my permission to use 35 more clones in a given session and add Bajiquan to that list as well. It would benefit you in guard details and extreme close quarters fighting."

"Okay sensei I will, but when will we start my elemental training?"

"After Naruto and Asuma finish their sparring session, let's get out of the middle of the training ground so they can begin."

(Asuma vs. Naruto)

"Okay Naruto give me your all."

"Yes." Replied Naruto to Asuma

Naruto was using the Goken style taught to him by Gai and was very proficient in it. And was also formidable in Hung Gar and Aikido, he was forced on the defensive right away by Asuma who laying down some heavy punching combos. Naruto being extremely flexible ducked and countered as many as possible and managed to escape the barrage. He used his speed as best he could and found that like his brother was with Shisui severely out classed. He then started to play the technical gain and waited for openings in Asuma's defense which he found was nearly non-existent. He then found one and launched a straight to Asuma and his Solar Plexus. It knocked the wind out of him slightly which was enough for Naruto to continue and land a kick to Asuma's head. It connected but was easily recovered from and that was where the fight went completely downhill for Naruto who struck with an elbow to the jaw and was kicked immediately in his chest launching him into a tree.

Asuma quickly went and helped him up saying

"Good job kid, you are getting better every day. But you must increase your strength training if you want to fully knock down or knock out adults of Jonin level."

"Okay sensei, shall we begin our elemental training?"

"Yes let us go with your bro and Shisui so we can get started."

The group of four walked off in silence not to be seen for two days. Now normally this would cause trouble at the academy but when you were as good as them it made catching up a breeze.

Only time would tell how strong the Leaf would be when the next generation hit their primes. And trust and believe the ninja world was watching in many ways.

(AN/ just wanted to give a little action in the first chapter. The two will be graduating in the next chapter and I have chosen to change the team placements and leading jonin sensei and their ages will be a little older then the canon.)
